Flair, one of the biggest names in the sport's history, made the shocking revelation about his liaison with the Oscar winning actress live on air during a radio show.

Flair replied: "Several dozens. Do you want me to start with Halle Berry or what?

"She was in Atlanta and just got divorced from David Justice."

The show's co-host Conrad Thompson, clearly taken aback at the claim, pressed Flair harder and asked if he was really telling the truth.

Flair said: "Would I have to make up a lie?".

Berry, who has refused to be drawn into the controversy, was married to baseball star Justice for four years until the couple divorced in 1997.

If Flair's claims are true, he would have been in the middle of his second marriage at the time of his liaison with the actress.

The 16-time world champion, real name Richard Fliehr, was in the middle of a 23-year marriage to Beth Harrell which only came to an end when they divorced in 2006.

He is currently engaged to be married for a fifth time, but his personal life has been marred by tragedy after one of his sons, Reid, died of an accidental overdose of heroin, Xanax and a muscle relaxer.

Berry has experienced a turbulent private life herself since divorcing Justice.

She then married singer-songwriter Eric Benet before a second divorce in 2005, and her third marriage, this time to actor Olivier Martinez, is going through the process of divorce.

Martinez has a history of dating famous women, having been in relationships with actress Mira Sorvino and then Kylie Minogue.

The couple have a son, Maceo, together, with Berry also having a child with Canadian model Gabriel Aubry.

Berry, 50, is still the only black woman ever to win a Best Actress Oscar after she scooped the Academy Award in 2002 for her role in Monster's Ball.
